Ecobunker
EcoBunker are patented technologies (EcoBunker Advanced and EcoBunker AquaEdge) that make it possible to design and build golf bunkers using a combination of recycled materials.
Traditional revetted bunkers (in the USA also called: Sod wall bunkers are most often built from stacks of sod flags. These classic bunkers require a lot of maintenance, maintenance which is costly in both time and money.
EcoBunkers are constructed from recycled artificial turf in combination with other recycled materials. This makes maintenance significantly easier - less time-consuming and cost-effective.
Just a short note to say how happy we are at Secession that we decided to redo all our bunkers. It is my belief that using EcoBunker has finally completed what I attempted to do with my original design of revetted bunkers at Secession.
Thanks to Llewellyn and his crew, as well as Mark Mitchell and his staff, we will hold our first tournament next week, with anticipation of feedback from the quality players that are scheduled to participate. I believe they will be very positive.

I first encountered Richard's invention to solve the problem of bunker face maintenance at Southerndown GC. I was immediately impressed by the natural look and the obvious maintenance savings that it would provide. Having recently taken up the role of Course & Club Manager at Pennard GC I took the opportunity to introduce EcoBunker to a few troublesome bunkers. The response from members and committee has been very positive and I am supporting a full course renovation using this innovative approach to solving this long standing greenkeeping challenge.

EcoBunker Ltd delivered a highly professional service to Romsey GC. The bunkers on our first and second holes now look superb and the feedback from the membership has been very positive. We see these bunkers as being the first of a much larger project using your invention, which will improve the aesthetics of the course and considerably reduce the maintenance burden of our bunkers.

We get a lot of visiting golfers here at Royal Winchester GC. This year in particular we have been getting many compliments about the outstanding condition of the course. Many of the visitors specifically identify our new EcoBunkers as being particularly good, and none of them realize the revetted edges and faces are made of synthetic grass.
